Wicked: For Good has been reported as beating a global opening record set by Guy Ritchie’s 2019 live-action Aladdin. According to a Deadline report as reproduced in an IMDb news listing, the film was projected to open at $150 million domestically over three days and to debut at $226 million globally. That global debut is reported to surpass the $213 million figure that the report gives as producer Marc Platt’s prior global opening record, tied to Aladdin. The record is an opening-weekend record. It is not a claim about final box-office totals.

What the record covers

The headline describes opening performance, and the scope matters for how the claim should be read:

  • The measure is the opening. The comparison is between debut figures, not lifetime earnings for either film.
  • The domestic figure is a projection. The $150 million three-day domestic number is reported as projected, so it may differ from the actual weekend result.
  • The comparator is Aladdin. The $213 million benchmark is described as Marc Platt’s prior global opening record, associated with Guy Ritchie’s 2019 live-action Aladdin.

The reported figures

The table below sets out only the values the report provides. Where it gives no figure for a cell, the cell says so rather than estimating one.

Measure Wicked: For Good Aladdin (2019), prior record per the report
Domestic three-day opening $150 million, projected (Deadline, 2025, via IMDb) Not stated in the source
Global opening or debut $226 million (Deadline, 2025, via IMDb) $213 million, described as Marc Platt’s prior global opening record
Final domestic gross Not established by the available sources Not established by the available sources
Final worldwide gross Not established by the available sources Not established by the available sources

Comparing like with like

The two figures in the report are both global, so the global debut of $226 million can be set against the $213 million global opening benchmark. The $150 million domestic figure cannot be fairly compared with the Aladdin benchmark, because the report does not give Aladdin’s domestic opening. Any statement that the film broke Aladdin’s domestic opening would go beyond what the report supports.

#1 Best Overall

The record also should not be read as an all-time worldwide earnings claim. It concerns the opening period only, and it applies to the benchmark the report names.

What the sourcing does and does not establish

  • Origin of the figures. The numbers come from a Deadline report as excerpted in an IMDb news listing. The original Deadline article was not independently checked for this piece, so the figures should be treated as reported opening numbers.
  • Studio confirmation. No direct statement from a named studio spokesperson or primary box-office database was available. The record is therefore a trade-press report, not an official studio announcement.
  • Final totals. The available material does not establish the film’s final domestic or worldwide gross. Those figures would need to come from an established box-office database and should be checked there before being quoted.
  • Quotes. No verified direct quotation from a named speaker is attributed here.

About the film

Wicked: For Good is the film adaptation of the second act of the Wicked stage musical. The musical is based on Gregory Maguire’s novel. The German Wikipedia article on the film, Wicked: Teil 2, gives the adaptation context and lists the soundtrack’s release date as November 21, 2025.

How to check the record yourself

  1. Open the original Deadline report on the opening weekend and confirm the wording of the domestic projection and the global debut figure.
  2. Note whether the source calls a number projected, estimated or actual, because trade reports often revise opening totals in later updates.
  3. Compare domestic with domestic and global with global, and check the Aladdin benchmark in the same type of source before repeating it.
  4. Look up final grosses in an established box-office database rather than relying on opening-weekend coverage.

The IMDb listings that carried the coverage are IMDb news page reproducing Deadline coverage and IMDb news page with related opening-weekend coverage. Both are secondary listings, so confirm figures against the original report before repeating them.
